Summary
Despite the importance and necessity of studying employment volatility, this topic has not been actively studied in Korea. One of the main reasons for the lack of research in this area is the limited data available to track changes in the employment status of individuals. This paper uses household survey data such as the Economically Active Population Survey and the Korean Labor and Income Panel Survey (KLIPS) and administrative data such as the Job-to-Job Flows Statistics to examine the characteristics of employment volatility by group and explore policy implications.
In Chapter 2, we first examine the characteristics of annual transitions between employment statuses for each group using the Job-to-Job Flows Statistics. These statistics are a compilation of all employed persons aged 15 and over registered in administrative databases, such as the four major social insurance and national tax databases, covering about 25 million employed persons. Looking at changes in employment status by type of employed person, the share of job stayers increased by 1.8%p between 2016 and 2021, while the shares of new entrants, job movers and unregistered workers decreased. This is consistent with previous research showing that the volatility between employment statuses tends to decrease. The five-year mobility results show that about two-thirds of the employed move, while about 20% are unregistered, including the unemployed. After five years of employment, men are 9.1%p more likely to remain employed than women, suggesting that it is more difficult for women to remain employed over time. In terms of age, 74.1% of those in their 40s were remain employed, compared with 43.1% of young people, and 66% of those aged 60 and over. Overall, for the core age groups, the proportion of job movers was higher than that of new entrants, while for older people the proportion of job movers was lower than that of new entrants, and for young people the proportion of new entrants was higher. Regarding job transitions between company sizes, the transition from SMEs to large companies, which is necessary to overcome the job polarization between large companies and SMEs, was only 11.1%. It was highest among young people at 16.2% and declined as the age went up. (For the full text of the English summary, please download the “Download 2 English_Abstract”.)
